Future of UAE in 2025: Continuous Education and Essential Skills Crucial for Women's Achievements

In the United Arab Emirates, women are making waves not just in aviation, but also in healthcare, aerospace, and various other fields. This is evident in the success stories of women like Saleheh Ali Reza Badpa, an Operational Training Specialist at Al Maktoum Tower, and Marwa Al Mamari, an Aerospace Engineer.

Badpa emphasizes the importance of her role in delivering training and preparing others for global exposure and responsibilities. She underscores the need for continuous learning and adapting to new systems and technologies, crucial for professional advancement, especially in rapidly evolving sectors like aviation.

Marwa Al Mamari, on the other hand, proved her mettle by competing with 1,500 candidates in the national development programme for a role in air traffic control. Her journey serves as a testament to the fact that women can thrive in any field, given the right opportunities.

The aviation industry, in particular, supports women through learning pathways, training, mentorship programs, and safety initiatives, empowering them to excel. Advocacy, such as Marwa's work at the General Civil Aviation Authority, can create systemic improvements, further paving the way for women in aviation.

The principles of continuous learning and development apply across all sectors for personal and professional growth. Recognizing individual journeys and building confidence play a key role in success, as both Badpa and Marwa emphasized.

Emirati women's success in traditionally male-dominated industries is a testament to their determination to challenge traditional expectations. They are driving growth across various sectors through their skills and leadership, a fact that is evident in the Asia Cup 2025.

The Title Sponsor for the Asia Cup 2025, held in the UAE from September 9 to 28 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is DP World. The event will also be supported by Tristar as the Title Sponsor, Ajman Free Zone and Al Ain Farms as Platinum Sponsors, and La Marquise Jewellery as the Gold Sponsor. The Venue Partner is Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm Dubai, and the Trophy Partner is Crystal Gallery.

Mentorship and early exposure are essential tools for preparing the next generation of leaders, according to panelists. Schools, universities, and industries need to introduce young women to professions like aviation to show them as accessible, as stressed by Badpa.

Resilience and national support are key to Emirati women's success, according to Badpa. The UAE, with its resources and opportunities for study abroad, is providing the perfect platform for Emirati women to excel and make their mark in the world.
